.404 definitely stays sharp much longer. Even smaller cutting machines like Ponsee and Bell and stuff like that run .404 Its just thicker metal where it matters.

[@justinweaver8107]

I've always liked .404 personally an yes definitely stays sharp longer.

[@Houseworksaws]

I bought my large spline .325 9T on Amazon as a kit for Stihl. Came with clutch, drum and sprocket for like 11$. I just wanted the sprocket so I could do my 372 with .325 on it.

[@jonbobskunkworks]

Did you find what you were looking for?

[@justinweaver8107]

Used 2 run my old 066 with .404 36in full comp with an 8pin stock saw no issue. Also they def do stay sharp longer absolutly true.

[@crazyfeller5704]

👍👍. Saw a place called 6k products- maybe they can help.

[@arnekrieger451]

Hi from Germany! See the 6k Products. The Brand of these sprockets is Danzco!

[@shannonhelmers7373]

404 chain does have its merits, wider kerf for certain tyes of wood, more robust in dirty wood and much longer tooth for longer life. 404 is used quite a bit here in Australia but in general we run shorter bars with our hardwoods. I believe it works better on 90+ cc, slower revving saws.

[@matthewbeaver5026]

Ive been looking for 3/8 8T. Large/standard spline. Cant find anything outside name brand sthil. I just cant justify the diff in cost

[@JoshNoss]

Thinking to try a 3/8 9pin on my ported 592xp, thinking that some modifying of the bar tail may be in order.. just hoping I can make it work once I've gotten it as the custom 9pin are expensive.. running 24'' bar hopefully that bigger sprocket will keep me off the rev limiter so I can make use of the extra power

[@novicelumberjack]

9 pin works on 592xp with no modifications except to remove the rubber chip deflector on the clutch cover. I've done it.

[@JoshNoss]

@@novicelumberjack alright cool I appreciate you telling me that

[@jjm3254]

I know this doesn't help your request for help, but for awareness of the group, the last .325-7s that I got on e-bay had pictures of powermate (Oregon) brand, but generics were actually sent.

[@mattfleming86]

Ugh that burns me up. Report them for counterfeit goods. My last orders (sprockets) were "ok" but i've been bit before on things. Hell my wife got a counterfeit phone charger that almost caught fire.

[@jjm3254]

@@mattfleming86 I wrote to the seller originally and he said something like sorry my source changed but it shouldn't affect performance. I just checked and his listing wasn't updated, so I pinged him for a second chance to make it right.

[@matthewbeaver5026]

Buying on eBay. Where it's typically less than half price. Most know they aren't getting genuine pieces.

[@Houseworksaws]

I run 8T .404 on my stock (muff modded) 3120xp and 084 pulling a 59” Oregon Hyper skip. It doesn’t mind it at all. Just tailor your grind.

[@justinweaver8107]

Hyper skip🤔🤔🤔??

[@Houseworksaws]

@@justinweaver8107 Check it out. It’s got 2 cutters every 12 drive links. It works awesome on long bars.

[@dellgregg4663]

I know its ill advised but what to I need to do to change my 291 from .325 pitch to 3/8 pitch?

[@Revellersaws]

I'm hoping to try 404 on my 288's soon, I have heard the same sentiment.

[@richarddodds9326]

You're the man that knows, can I get a rim sprocket for Poulan PRO 295, bar & chain for 16 inch & 3/8 .050 joint ?

[@andrewbaier1733]

I think Madsen's still sells a good selection of sprockets...

[@alexstromberg7696]

Just like Stihl and Husqvarna do themselves.

[@MateuszBPM]

Good job Novice 💪💪

[@DavidJones-smiley]

Have a ?? How would I convert an echo cs-302 from spur sprocket to rim sprocket? If it’s 6 spur do I get 6 rim?

[@matthewbeaver5026]

I just did this with my 590. I had to use the 620P rim sprocket. Find out the which pro saw is the same cc as yours. Then order that saws clutch cover/rim sprocket.

[@chainsawcanuck]

Make a 9tooth 325 small spline, loota of material on your table there and you have a lathe

[@novicelumberjack]

Thought about it. Might still do it, but what's stopping me is hardness. Last time I cut one of these for my Milwaukee electric, it was a total bear to do. Might still try it.

[@chainsawcanuck]

@@novicelumberjack could annealed it then re harden, unless you can find a small spline one, I have looked before and 99% sure no one currently makes them

Good sunday St Zacharie Québec Canada

[@jokebaker22]

Thought all new vids were going to be behind the paywall? 🧐

[@novicelumberjack]

Not all. And I'm just figuring this all out. It will be a balancing act. The members definitely got a better video today of running my new Shindaiwa 600sx and testing chains.

[@jokebaker22]

@@novicelumberjack just basking in the irony of you asking the group of people you to told to f off yesterday for (free) advice

[@novicelumberjack]

@@LQQPY That was actually pretty good. Thanks for that.

[@aaronpowell4885]

As others said, ebay and Madsens are the first two to come to my mind. I haven't ran .404 yet either. Maby it clears the kerf better?🤷🏻‍♂️
